It is naturally found in meat and fish. Animal and plant varieties also contain materials for our body to form collagen. As we age, we lose collagen, so it is important to eat enough protein every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn days you cannot hit your protein goal through food alone, a protein supplement is appropriate. When taking a collagen supplement, make sure to take it with vitamin C and another protein source. Vitamin C helps facilitate collagen formation in the body. \u003cem\u003eCollagen is not a complete protein meaning it does not have a complete amino acid profile, so it is important to add another protein to make it complete (in this case Greek yogurt).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther foods rich in collagen are foods high in connective tissue. A few examples are pot roast and brisket. If you need to be mindful of you red meat intake, bone broth is another excellent source of collagen!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoods that help facilitate collagen production include fish, poultry, meat, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, whole grains, leafy greens, citrus fruits, bell peppers, tomatoes, and berries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Winter","offers":[{"title":"1 serving","offer_id":47721690628313,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 servings","offer_id":47721690661081,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 servings","offer_id":47721690693849,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/5555\/5801\/files\/greensmoothie.jpg?v=1768872357","url":"https:\/\/membership.brittanyjonesrd.com\/products\/green-protein-smoothie","provider":"Brittany Jones Nutrition Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
